Deborah Lippmann in Singapore

Deborah Lippmann nail lacquers are now officially available on our sunny island.

Brought in by TFI Trading Pte Ltd, which also manages KohGenDo here, both brands can be found at Level 3 of Takashimaya. Hitherto, the nail polishes could be purchased from e-tailer Luxola and local nailcare company U Gateway, but I’m told that TFI Trading is the exclusive distributor of the lacquer brand in Singapore.

The nail colours retail at S$33, bearing the same price tag as those sold by Luxola. By contrast, U Gateway offers them at S$19 but only during the annual BeautyAsia trade fair. However, now that there’s an official distributor, their price might very well change…unless they retain it for industry buyers. I’ll be sure to visit their booth next year at the fair to find out.

Incidentally, Hakuhodo has indicated that they’ll be making a presence at BeautyAsia 2014 and will be offering their brushes for sale, unlike at this year’s fair where they were merely testing the waters and looking for distributors. You have been warned – time to start saving! ;)
